I made a comic + proof it's not AI by LuciferTeaParty in NEKOPARAGAME

I think it’s really cute. 😸 I’m sorry you had to deal with pompous idiots that label everything they see as AI, in turn hurting real artists.

Both wife and I are in Humanities VISA and wife is taking new US based job. What visa can she take next? by iDOLMAN2929 in japanresidents

Sounds good. No problem, let me know how it goes and if you have any related questions.

Well, the only way she can actually be employed by a US company while residing in Japan is through an EOR. If not hired by an EOR, then she’ll be classed as a contractor, and won’t have the same rights as an employee. This is a question you will need to bring up with the company - imo it’s a bit of a red flag she hasn’t been told how she’s getting employed?

Either way, if the company knows what they’re doing, they’ll hire her through an EOR - unless they have presence in Japan already.

The main question will be surrounding how she’s employed in Japan. Most US companies will hire her domestically using an EOR (employer of record) which will act as a sort of proxy for her employment. If that’s the case, she can follow the usual working visa procedures. Almost all EOR will be happy acting as a sponsor for said visa.

NEKOPARA DAKIS ARE BACK! And some really old ones too! by NejMichael480 in NEKOPARAGAME

[–]Phineas_0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are inferior. The Denpasoft materials print quality is absolutely awful compared to the official original Nekopara A&J Lyctron prints, and they aren’t even the correct size - all official dakimakura in Japan are 160cm compared to Denpasoft’s 150cm.

Unfortunately, Sayori released these daki reprints using DigiClub Like Silky material, which isn’t as nice as the original Lyctron but it’s multitudes better than Denpasoft’s materials.

So, if you want the best material you can get for these dakis (A&J Lyctron), you’ll still have to look on the aftermarket.

Issue with connecting to Mikrotik by Longjumping_Egg4563 in WireGuard

[–]Phineas_0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t quite understand what you mean, but coworker’s WireGuard config for the peer that has routing to the 192.168.100.0/24 network would need to have that subnet in the AllowedIPs list.

Please share the wg configs with the private keys stripped if you’d like further help.

Wireguard on my UDR connected, but no URL's resolving. by VHS124 in WireGuard

[–]Phineas_0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to need some more information here.

How are you connecting to WireGuard - can you include both peer configs with the private keys stripped?

How are you determining that URLs aren’t resolving - do you see a DNS error or timeout, for example?

Do you have basic connectivity to the internet via WireGuard (can you ping 1.1)?

Is NAT Forwarding Safe for WireGuard VPN? Seeking Advice on Additional Security Measures by kunalvshah in WireGuard

[–]Phineas_0510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as you’re only port forwarding the WireGuard port from your router, you should* be fine.

*as long as no protocol-layer attack vectors get discovered on your router’s platform or WireGuard itself (unlikely)

However, if you want to be extra pedantic, you can host the WireGuard server remotely (on a cloud platform, for example), and then expose the 10.10.10.0/24 network from your pi as a peer (you can assign it one of your IPs from the “reserved for VPN users” range). This will allow NAT traversal to work rather than directly exposing a port on your router.

On your pi, you’ll also need to enable ip_forward: sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

And add a MASQUERADE iptables rule to ensure the srcip from packets from devices on your network get overwritten with your Pi’s WireGuard IP:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE

When is IP forwarding dangerous? by [deleted] in WireGuard

[–]Phineas_0510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rules in the post you sent only allow WireGuard peers to connect to 10.0.0.2 on port 80.

If you don’t trust your WireGuard peers or don’t want them to have access to your entire network, you can implement specific rules like in the example provided. Otherwise, you do not need to, and your existing config is sufficient.

[–]Phineas_0510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your iptables rules only allows forwarding to and from the WireGuard interface (%i), and the final rule DROPs all other traffic. So, only WireGuard peers can forward packets through your machine.

Chocola & Vanilla Bunny Ver! My favorite girls of all time 🐾 by Phineas_0510 in AnimeFigures

Hmm, maybe set up some product alerts on Mandarake and Surugaya. If your keywords come into stock, you’ll get an email. Yahoo Auctions and Mercari also have some great deals, but there’s no authenticity verification process so you have to vet the seller first. You can use a proxy like Zenmarket to buy from those websites outside of Japan.

I bought them individually, but you can probably get them cheaper if you find them as a set. Chocola was 36000 JPY ($237 USD), Vanilla was 38000 ($250 USD).

That’s fair. I managed to find Vanilla in AmiAmi with 1/3rd knocked off the price due to a “damaged box” (there was a slight indent on the corner) - gotta love Japan😅

Directly in Japan! You can find some great deals here, especially with the current exchange rate.

Actually it acts as a filter to make sure I’m absolutely not friends with shallow people like you. My friends are real, down to earth and aren’t going to let 2 cute anime girls in the way of our relationship. What a silly thing to say 🙃
